Abstract

Cinnamamides derived from prolinols (e.g. –CH2OH and –CPh2OH) and from proline amides (e.g. prolineanilide) are epoxidised with total retention of the alkene configuration, to give either epoxides or bicyclic derivatives thereof, essentially enantiopure, using tert-butyl hydroperoxide and butyllithium.
